Right - that seems to be quite accidental though: it is done by
write-region in ob-eval.el:org-babel--shell-command-on-region when it
writes the input file, before it is passed to the shell for execution;
hardly a significant milestone. I wonder if that call should be changed
to suppress the message, something like

      (write-region start end input-file nil 'no-message)

quite apart from the problem at hand.
